Udaya Reports:Please note my apologies as I am unable to attend both the meeting and dinner! Below is my report.I attended the IEEE IAS R10 chapter chair meeting/workshop, which was held on 22-23 Nov. in Penang, Malaysia. Each chapter chair spoke with regard to their activities, and I raised the difficulty that we face in attracting good DLs to visit NZ due to financial constraints and being far away from rest of the world. Peter Magyar (IAS Chair CDM) and Fanny also spoke in relation to membership development, more industry participation, common issues and Vtools. All presentations of the meeting and the workshop are available at the following link.http://ewh.ieee.org/soc/ias/cms/content/section/10/32/

Udaya Reports:I mentioned at the committee meeting and got the approval to attend the above IAS Chapter Chair (R10) meeting and workshop in Malaysia from 21-22 November this year. Our section has to pay US$ 250 to cover part of the cost, and I mentioned this to you/committee and got the approval
earlier. Please find attached the email that was sent to me by the R10 chair with the program.
The chair meeting will be followed by a workshop on the second day. Other than this, there is nothing to report. I have invited a DL, who is attending this workshop, to visit NZ but it is still under consideration.

Udaya Reports: The IAS Region 10 meeting is scheduled (tentatively) to be held in
Penang, Malaysia on 22nd November. The meeting is followed by a
workshop/tutorial on the 23rd. However, both events are still be
confirmed, and I intend to attend if the meeting goes
ahead. Please note that I have already got the approval from our
Chapter (communicated to the NZN Executive).
The workshop after the meeting will be conducted by Dr Juan Sanchez,
FIEEE, from Spain, who is a DL on IAS DL program. He is an expert on
energy, and I have invited him to NZ under ISA DL program prior to the
meeting in Malaysia since he can cover most of his travel expenses from
the trip to Malaysia. IAS has approved DLs travel costs, but I am yet
to receive a confirmation from Dr Juan Sanchez.
